The UPS lady just dropped off my pair from SNKRS.

But I have to admit the quality of leather is bad. My pair came pre-creased. Even the leather on top by the tongue looks distressed. I’m not too happy about that.

Come on, dude. It's because they used better materials. The quality is way better than the last release. Way better. I wish they would use this nice soft leather on all leather 5's. This pair is :nthat:

I was thinking about punching the second row but there’s no need, for me at least. I kind of want ppl to know their Fresh Princes (although 80 percent of ppl won’t be able to tell). Had to snatch the laces and lace locks out the 2013s, the length on the laces are perfect( those are most likely put the door any day now).

In comparison to the 2013s the leather is far softer and higher quality , there’s more cushion, they wear better and are more comfortable. Finally we can’t forget that Nike air. The 2013s were tanks but incredibly uncomfortable so I barely wore em not to mention they ran kinda big. All in all a good remastered attempt

yo, thats a great job. super clean. u did them justice.
 
Nice custom, well done. I'm going to keep my Fresh Prince pair Fresh Prince. Will just cop the normal ones in 2020 or whenever they release again. I like options. :smile:

Nothing wrong with that I love grapes and aquas just can’t see me needing 2 pairs of grapes even with slight differences. Def ready to wear my pair tho, the perks of buying the same shoe over and over DF98F74E-2062-48F6-A4AC-D652A2253DE0.jpeg
 
I was going to say you should cut the other holes for a more clean look but thats a good point about wanting them to also be recognized as the FP V's. I'm even more impressed that you did this in a few short hours. IDK why but I expected you to come back days later with pics. lol

Copped 2 pairs of Creams. Never got a chance to get black base 350s so I’m blacking em out, might cop butters and do a custom on those also

are creams the triple whites? ive got a pair of triple whites comming from the restock last week. always wanted a pair of pirates but im not trying to pay those prices

Thanks man, I’m the dude that still wears FLOTG 7s because they had that little heart that everyone hates. But I’m on vaca, so I got time today CUHZZ
 
It's funny to think how mad I was when I first saw these had no laces. Nike brainwashed me into the total opposite.
I tried to put them on but I would have needed a shoe horn or crush the back of the shoe

I use my index finger as a shoe horn and slide on in. It works well when there's no shoe horn around.

Triple whites from the restock. Wanted pirates after seeing Chance in concert for the first time. Why not make a pair plus I can do it pretty easily, if their still around by Thursday I’m copping another pair for another custom D9273790-64BB-437A-86B0-AD56F20B83B1.jpeg

Interesting color differences on those 2 pairs. That Emerald is a bit brighter and probably closer to the original.

Great Job Dude, Happy to hear it wasn't that hard.

I'm definitely going to do the same.
 
That’s cool I would tell you to get the regular holepunch with circular holes to make sure the holes on the one you bought aren’t too big just to let you know. I just punched 2 holes next to each other then used the tool to make a better shape. I beleive I started with the 2mm but moved up to the 3mm on the next shoe which was better. I believe your tool starts at 3.5mm but that might work if your really careful.
